Creating Quiz Data

Step 1: Create JSON File

Create a new JSON file in /src/data/ (e.g., quiz-cardano-advanced.json):

{
  "title": "Advanced Cardano Quiz",
  "description": "Test your deeper knowledge of Cardano",
  "questions": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "question": "Your question here?",
      "options": [
        "Option A",
        "Option B",
        "Option C",
        "Option D"
      ],
      "correctAnswer": 0,
      "explanation": "Detailed explanation of the correct answer."
    }
  ]
}

Step 2: Import and Use

import Quiz from '@site/src/components/Quiz';
import advancedQuiz from '@site/src/data/quiz-cardano-advanced.json';

<Quiz quizData={advancedQuiz} questionCount={8} />

---

Integration Example

import Quiz from '@site/src/components/Quiz';
import quizData from '@site/src/data/quiz-demo.json';

<Quiz quizData={quizData} questionCount={5} />

Internationalization (i18n)

All UI strings in the Quiz component (Correct!, Incorrect, Check answer, Try again, Next question, Finish quiz, Explanation, score text, etc.) use translate() from @docusaurus/Translate and can be translated via i18n/<locale>/code.json under the quiz.ui.* namespace.

Quiz content (questions, options, explanations) comes from the JSON data file. To support multiple languages, create a locale-specific copy (e.g., quiz-scams.de.json) and select the correct file in the parent page based on currentLocale:

import quizDataEn from '@site/src/data/quiz-example.json';
import quizDataDe from '@site/src/data/quiz-example.de.json';
import useDocusaurusContext from '@docusaurus/useDocusaurusContext';

const {i18n: {currentLocale}} = useDocusaurusContext();
const quizData = currentLocale === 'de' ? quizDataDe : quizDataEn;

<Quiz quizData={quizData} />

Available Translation Keys

Key	English Default
quiz.ui.noQuestions	No quiz questions available.
quiz.ui.greatJob	Great job!
quiz.ui.keepLearning	Keep learning!
quiz.ui.scoreText	You scored {score} out of {totalQuestions}
quiz.ui.tryAgain	Try again
quiz.ui.correct	Correct!
